Bridging ELAR reading strategies with science-specific disciplinary reading
Day 1, Session 1 - July 25, 12:30-1:30pm

Painlessly incorporating reading into a science unit
Day 2, Session 1 - July 26, 12:30-1:30pm
This session will demonstrate how to seamlessly incorporate reading into your content units! We will use online resources to find non-fiction texts, such as magazine or news articles, then incorporate them into a unit of study to provide real life examples of science in action while providing students with the opportunity to practice and improve reading skills!
